Such chronic instability and precipitous change made it difficult for them to make sense of their lives as coherent stories—and for scholars to reconstruct them in retrospect. \u003cem\u003eRuptures in the Everyday\u003c\/em\u003e brings together an international team of twenty-six researchers from across German studies to craft such a narrative. This collectively authored work of integrative scholarship investigates \u003cem\u003eAlltag\u003c\/em\u003e through the lens of fragmentary anecdotes from everyday life in modern Germany. Across ten intellectually adventurous chapters, this book explores the self, society, families, objects, institutions, policies, violence, and authority in modern Germany neither from a top-down nor bottom-up perspective, but focused squarely on everyday dynamics at work “on the ground.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…will appeal to readers who have a background in German history and an interest in poststructural analyses and the grand themes of German studies.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Journal of Modern History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“By eschewing grand narratives,\u003c\/em\u003e Ruptures in the Everyday \u003cem\u003ehas made an important contribution to German Studies.
